Hankering for a juicy steak? Have a plethora of ground chuck you’d like to use up? No matter your situation, this list has got your beef-related needs covered. From decadent ribeye and strip steak to slow cooked chili con carne and classic meatloaf, this round-up delivers big beefy flavor.
1) Chili Con Carne
This classic stew is all about the beef. Tender pieces of chuck roast simmer in a spicy blend of chipotles, jalapeños, onions, garlic, chili powder, and cumin for six hours until perfectly tender. Serve your chili con carne with shredded cheese, cilantro, sour cream, and chopped red onion or any of your favorite garnishes.
2) Mongolian Beef
This classic Chinese-American takeout dish, despite the name, has nothing to do with Mongolian cuisine and actually originated in Taiwan. This sweet and savory meal is a family friendly favorite. We’ve added a touch of cayenne pepper for a little spice, but you can omit it to keep it more traditional.
3) Vietnamese Beef Lettuce Wraps
These fresh and fun lettuce wraps are filled with flavorful beef patties seasoned with oyster sauce, scallions, curry powder, and fish sauce. A tangy, sweet, and spicy sauce is the perfect accompaniment to the savory beef patties, and a medley of crunchy fresh vegetables and sunny herbs ensures fresh flavor in every bite.
4) Sous Vide Ribeye Steaks
Sweet peas and a creamy, punchy mustard sauce are the perfect additions to decadent ribeye steaks. We sous vide the steaks until perfectly medium-rare and then sear on the stovetop for a deep mahogany finish. We like our steaks medium-rare, but if you’d prefer a different level of doneness, check out our temperature guide to find the settings that work for you.
5) Beef Taco Stuffed Peppers
We’re swapping tortillas for hearty and nutritious peppers in this delicious family-friendly dish. A blend of spiced (but not spicy) beef, cheese, beans, and corn are mixed together and then stuffed into bell peppers before slow cooking for 3 hours.
6) Classic Meatloaf
Sometimes you just can’t improve on the tried and true, and this meatloaf is the perfect example. Our classic meatloaf is made with meatloaf mix, which consists of beef, pork, and veal for the ideal flavor and texture. The glaze is tangy, sweet, and a little spicy, which compliments the savory meatiness of the meatloaf.
7) Miso Strip Steaks with Sugar Snap Pea Salad
Umami-rich miso is the perfect accompaniment to hearty sous vide strip steaks. Red miso paste is aged for longer than other varieties, giving it a pungent savoriness that can handle assertive flavors like steak. A side of sugar snap peas adds a welcome sweetness that balances the savory flavors in the rest of the dish.
